Government Department Apologizes to Domínguez Victims, Shares ‘Sorrow and Shame’
The entire faculty of Harvard's Government department issued a public apology to the women harassed by former professor Jorge I. Domínguez, whose misconduct spanned four decades. An external review had found that significant power disparities and inadequate reporting mechanisms at Harvard led to insufficient action against Domínguez, despite his behavior being "common knowledge" within the department. The faculty expressed "sorrow and shame" and apologized for failing to object to Domínguez’s promotions and not providing a supportive environment for victims.The faculty pledged to ensure serious consideration of future misconduct concerns.| Creator |
